It time I bite the bullet and accept the second brawl into this deck xD I have removed whirlwind and replaced with brawl to improve almost every matchup :)

First of all I would like to state that this is not anything new, it is a typical control warrior ran by many. the objective of putting this on hearthpwn is to teach people how to use it and get to legend with this deck. The deck i adapted from a few other control warriors I've seen but its rare to see a guid beyond basic mulligans. So lets begin.

Starting with basic mulliganing:

 Ok so now that's over and done with, onto the playstyle.

Turn 1-5 you want to maintain as much board control as possible. Use your fiery war axe's to take out minions whilst building a board with armorsmiths, do not be afraid to use your cruel taskmaster on his 1 health minions, even a 1/1 silverhand recruit is worth it as you will gain a lot of board presence where he was only able to use his hero power.

Turn 6-10 you must continue to gather board presence whilst using as many card draw mechanics as possible, popular ones include acolyte of pain with whirlwind or death's bite deathrattle. You are getting to the stage where you can drop big minions that your opponent must deal with, typically a turn 7 Dr. boom turn 8 ragnaros and turn 9 grommash hellscream will do the trick. 

Do not be afraid if you are still fighting for the board at turn 7+ just continue to do so, eventually you will find alexstrasza who can make up for any lost ground on the damage front. If you have a board on turn 9, alex then face will set up for the perfect grommash + taskmaster combo next turn! 

Turn 10+ so now that we have gotten this far the odds for most matchups have dramatically shifted in our favor. By now each turn you should have the choice between a massive minion or a few smaller ones instead. Depending on your opponent depends how you play the rest of the game out, consider all their combos ie force of nature + savage roar. would that give them lethal? can you prevent this? do you have lethal next turn? all these questions should be considered every turn.

This part of the guide I am writing for newer or older players who may just want general tips for playing warrior.

• First of all, some of the best advice I can give is you have 90 seconds to take your turn ... use it wisely. 90% of misplays that are made by novice warrior players could have been avoided just by double checking you have enough mana, or that you don't fall one damage short when you think you have lethal. 
• Secondly to improve your general game and skill level little tricks can be done, for example understand that armour is worth more than health. If you have a weapon you should attack first before giving yourself armour, this is because of cards that rely on your armour or health. 2 great examples are shield block and alexstraza. If you topdeck shield block but spent armour instead of health last turn you may need just one or two more armour to kill a molten giant. Then consider if you have 30 health and no armour alex will deal 15 damage to you, whereas if that same 30 health was distributed 1 health and 29 armour alex heals for 14! In short, unlike other classes its good form to use your hero ability last.

FAQ's 

Q. How far can this deck get me in ranked?

A. Many people hit legend with this deck or a similar one every single season. This deck is no face hunter, you do require a lot of practise to play this deck so if you are struggling to get anywhere with it keep practising! 

Q. what about lower ranks, can I ladder with this deck?

A. Of course you can! S16 I have played this deck from rank 15 onwards, if the meta shifts to a hunter meta again I would consider running another deck, I do have a good win/loss ratio vs hunter but its far to unreliable to get win streaks.

Q. Can I replace whirlwind with Revenge?

A. Of cause you can! Many people are asking about this change to the deck so I will explain my reasoning for running whirlwind. I consider this deck to have enough tools to deal with patrons as it is. A brawl + wep will clear all his patrons for the first time. it's rare he gets 2 patron combos off but in these circumstances I can usually trade my minions into his giving him a FULL patron board all of 2 or less health. when I play geddon it will then kill them all and none spawn. The use for whirlwind is for 2 things, the first being to counter aggro pally and hunter. Turn 1 leper gnome, turn 2 haunted creeper. simply kill the haunted (however you can, wep or trade) then whirlwind to gain a good advantage. Secondly I use it to combo card draw/armour, when I have 1 or 2 armorsmith's out I can whirlwind for a lot of armor and maybe even better trades. the extra mana makes it harder to combo with playing more minions for more armor. Also consider the 3 damage AOE vs a control matchup, you are on low health, have a belcher on the board and acolytes in hand, you don't want to acolyte then revenge because of the damage your sludge will take and then kill your acolytes too.
